KANSAS CITY's EXPOSITION.

Whether the permanent exposition at
Kansas City will be made success, re-
mains to be seen. There is one thing,
however, which will be admitted, that is if
pluck and perseverance are the essential
factors of success, the Kansas City expos1-
ton is an assured fact. That city Of the
size of Kansas City should assume to do
W hat much larger and older cities would
hesitate to undertake. And proceed to lay
the corner stone of an immense permanent
exposition building is worthy the
commentator and admiration of all
people who admire pluck and
energy. This little city on the Mis-
souri, obtains the architectural plans for an
immense building, and puts more than one
thousand men to building it, as though
such thing as failure is never thought Of.
We earnestly hope this undertaking may
be crowned with success. And we believe
it will be. This exhibition we believe, will
be regarded as a trans Mississippi enter
prise, and the entire west will contribute to
its success. If Kansas City obtains some
local benefit, it will be nothing more than
her enterprise deserves.

STATES RIGHTS IN A NEW LIGHT.

Jefferson Davis is out in another letter.
The old man has evidently reached that
point where pity rather than abuse is
called for He now says be did all in his
power to avert the rebellion. If jefferson
Davis did call in his power to prevent the
late var" then will some one point out the
man who really struck Billy Patterson?
The ex-president goes on to say further
that the United States army captured very
few of the five hundred and sixty rebel
flags that were taken, by explaining that it
was the volunteer army of the several
states" who did the job According to this
old mans theory the National forces after
all did not whip the confederacy, but the
volunteers of the several northern states
whipped the volunteers Of the several
southern states, which theory brings out
the old states rights doctrine In new and
entertaining light. If his position be true
one, will he please explain what the presi-
dent of the Nation, Mr.. Cleveland, was
thinking about when he assumed control OF
these flags and proposed to turn them over
ts-nobody seems to know who. The
states which constituted the confederacy
are now part Of the Natisn,-of the
Nation which captured and owns those
flags. Poor JEFF.

A SUBSTANTIAL BOOM.

From the Globe Democrat
The current number of Bradstreet's con-
tains an authentic and interesting abstract
of the building and real estate transfers of
the principal cities of the country during
five months of the present year, as COM
pared with the same period in 1886. From
these figures it appears that the gain in the
alue of buildings erected was % per cent.
and in real esttae transactions SO per cent.
This is unprecedented in all our history.
New York heads the list as to values, and
Kansas City and Wichita come next; but
in the percentage of increase. New York is
put at 80 only, while Wichita reaches 800.
1t is evident that the boom was substan-
tial one, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the conditions exist for its con-
tinuance-in milder form than heretofore
but with probabilities of steady and
healthy advance in prices at all points
where there Is definite order of general
business prosperity.

without labor, is a saying generally con-
ceded TO be correct. This being the case,
est toll would refuse TO gamble, that frater-
nifty would eventually starve out or entirely
depend upon the money obtained b. thefts
TO, keeping up their supply. As the little
rivulets are collected from thousand
so urces and 60 TO form the great river, so
are little gambling schemes to rob the
laboring man of his nickels and dimes the
little sources of supply that go to make up
the great fund which makes princes of the
few gamblers.

In forty.thre cities the transfers for
1887 represented value of $451, IL, O4,
against 1896, 156, 696 in 1886, an increase OF
about 81 per cent That which prevents
complete showing for the cities OF the
United States is the fact that large pro-
portion of them do not keep records from
which the desired statistics can be made
up. Thirty -eight cities report an almost
entire absence of record of the statistics
asked for. Even Boston kept no record OF
the cost of buildings for which permits are
issued, until very recently. The figures
given are, however, very satisfactory indi-
cations that the United States Is not suffer
ing from the influence of hard times or
business depression, but are rather flourish
ing in active industry.

sEDGWICK COUNTY RAILROADS.

The state board of railway assessors have
made their report upon the milage and
value of railway property in Kansas by
counties, which the Commonwealth pub
fishes in full. The showing is very graft
flying. At the close of the fiscal year OF
1886, there were 4, 517.62 miles of railroad
in the state. The report for 1887, shows
6,2Os. 95 miles, an increase of 1, 6S1.33. The
assessed valuation for 1885 was $32, 434,-
936. 6s; for 1887 it is $41, 53s, 9O4. SO, an in
crease of 50, 100, 96S.15. The table shows
the milage and amount returned for Sedg-
wick county, to which, by another year,
will be added fifty and may be sixty-five
miles.

PERSISTENT MISREPRESENTATION

The veterans Of the war for the Union
and the Union loving people Of the nation
are daily misrepresented and insu.ted by
the mugwump press because of Grover
Cleveland's big blunder about the rebel
flags There is bitter denunciation and

fooliShly raised such an issue. but for
those who forced him TO dropit so quickly.
There Is no censure for the proposition TO
return the rebel flags to what Mr. Cleve-
land calls the confederate state" that Is
all right, or at most is only a little prema-
ture because Of the miserable prejudice and
hate of the northern soldiers and Of the
demagogues of the Republican party. The
press of the south and the mugwump press
Of the north are in perfect harmony in de-
nouncing the men, especially tho Grand
Army men, whose indignant protests

THE GREAT NEW YORK BEER TRADE

We learn from the New York Sun that
the beer sellers in the Eleventh and Seven
teenth wards of New York have put up
the price of beer TO the GROWER trade
from seven cents to eight cents pint The
San estimates that this advance will In
crease the profits Of the trade 1850, GOO a
wear in the Seventeenth ward alone. From
this it appears that the receipts Of the
"grswler' trade have been 81, 45O, GOO in
that ward, and that the new arrangement
Will bring s.. 500, 600, The GROWER
trade is that which is carried on in tin
pals and pitchers, and includes neither that
which is conducted across the counter
al five cents glass nor that which Is
sent to private residences in bottles. The
counter trade is much more profitable, as
there are four glasses ia each GROWER
pint, making the price per pint by the
glass 20 cents, but we have now TO con-
slider the GROWER trade, the receipts
from which are about one fifth OF the
entire beer trade of the city.
The Seventeenth ward contained In 1880
1O4 S31 inhabitants, which Is about one
eleventh of the total population Of the
city. In the weather. wards the price has
ALWAYS been eight cents quart. Estimat
| ing that the trade Is evenly distributed
throughout the entire city. the GROWER
trade fer the entire corporation amounts to
$40. Soe. 0c0 per year. II this trade
anoun,s to one fifth Of the whole, which
| is a low estimate, then the total receipts
from the beer trade IN New
Ysrk are 1856. ~. GEO The Demo
